Greg discovered Build Buddy through a Facebook page while researching the owner-builder process. Eager to learn as much as possible, he commented on a post regarding estimating, which prompted Danny, the CEO of Build Buddy, to reach out. The timing was perfect, and Build Buddy turned out to be exactly what he needed, marking the beginning of their journey.

Initially, Greg paid $2,000 for a custom builder quote, despite already having a design, and was astounded by the high costs. He was anxious about committing to a builder, fearing the project might not be completed. In contrast, his experience with Build Buddy has been seamless.

What has been your favorite part of using Build Buddy so far?

My favourite aspect of using Build Buddy is the control it provides. It allows me to purchase materials on sale, resulting in substantial financial savings while obtaining exactly what we want. The control is paramount, with financial savings being a significant benefit. I am eager to see the total savings at the end of the project.

I find the task management feature particularly user-friendly. Despite not being tech savvy, I have no issues navigating the platform, which is simple, well organised, and intuitive.

I wholeheartedly recommend Build Buddy to others and have already done so. For anyone mindful of their budget or wanting to be actively involved in their build, Build Buddy is an excellent choice. The site always feels organised and clean, and I thoroughly enjoy my involvement with the tradespeople. Being actively engaged in the building process is incredibly rewarding; the more involved you are, the fewer mistakes occur, resulting in a better quality home.
